Scope

Michels Construction, Inc. developed a diversion plan for Hay Creek to allow a pipeline crew to perform an anomaly dig to repair an imperfection of a high-pressure pipeline that crossed the creek. A 24-inch 250hp electric submersible pump and a 6-inch 27hp electric submersible pump were determined to be adequate to handle the creek's flow of 21,300 gallons per minute, to fit into the site's small footprint, and reduce the risks of the losing prime or encountering mechanical failure compared to other pump options.
